Turn Up The Light!

Inserting an open-tread stairway into a dark building can make all the difference to the way a house feels.

Here the design team removed walls, added windows – they dreamed up a metal and wood stair system that floats through the center of the house, introducing light and air to each of three floors. It forms a great visual centerpiece to the other rooms which were all renovated and refreshed.

The kitchen was completely remodeled, and some of the stairway steelwork was echoed in the details on the island.
